ANZPAC Members

A collaborative solution that brings together key players behind a shared vision of a circular economy for plastic.


How does PakTech meet ANZPAC targets?

ANZPAC is led by APCO and is part of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Plastics Pact Network connecting national and regional initiatives around the world to implement solutions towards a circular economy for plastic.  PAKTECH is a participating member. 

  • ANZPAC Target: Eliminate unnecessary and problematic plastic packaging through redesign, innovation and alternative (reuse) delivery models. 

    PakTech is committed to the inclusion of NIR Detectable colorant in our black products by 2024.
  • ANZPAC Target: 100% of plastic packaging to be reusable, recyclable or compostable packaging by 2025
     
    100% of PakTech’s packaging products are currently recyclable and reusable.
  • ANZPAC Target: Increase plastic packaging collected and effectively recycled by at least 25% for each geography within the ANZPAC region by 2025
     
    PakTech products are currently collected kerbside and all waste through manufacturing is recycled.
    Visy Recycling, Endeavor Group, Coles Liquor, and Independent Craft Brewers are participating in additional drop-off locations for collections.
  • ANZPAC Target: Average of 25% recycled content in plastic packaging across the region by 2025
     
    PakTech products are currently made with 100% Recycled Australian HDPE
